根据《京都议定书》和《远距离越境空气污染公约》等国际协定，分配大规模、跨部门和多污染物控制责任，以实现减排目标，是当今可持续发展中一个新出现的关键问题。在本文中，我们提出了一个创新的分层系统设计，用于分配中央最优的跨部门多污染物控制责任。我们发现，一个分散的分层系统可以设计一个双层规划结构，以诱导不同的行业“自愿”作出集中的最优减排选择，以满足国家或国际多污染物排放目标，而不使用传统的命令和控制机制。我们还展示了这两个问题的解决方案之间的等价性，以及创建一个全球最优的共享和协调系统的详细步骤，使行业的内生减排选择，根据自己的成本结构和技术能力。基于中国工业企业为实现国家“十一五”规划中多项污染物排放目标所提供的经验数据，分析比较了分级控制体系与现状指挥控制体系的经济和环境绩效。文中还讨论了该分层系统在实现和灵活性方面的优势。
Distributing large-scale, cross-sector, and multipollutant control accountabilities for meeting the emission reduction targets in accordance with international agreements, such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution, is a critical emerging issue in sustainable development today. In this paper, we present an innovative hierarchical system design for distributing the centrally optimal cross-sector multipollutant control accountabilities. We show that a decentralized hierarchical system can be designed with a bilevel planning structure to induce different industries to “voluntarily” make the centrally optimal abatement choices to meet the national or international multipollutant emission targets without using the traditional command-and-control mechanism. We also show the equivalence between the solutions to the two problems as well as the detailed steps to create a globally optimal sharing and coordinating system enabled by industries' endogenous abatement choices according to their own cost structures and technology capabilities. Based on the empirical data from Chinese industries for meeting the national emission targets of multiple pollutants specified in the 11th Five-Year Plan of China, we analyze and compare the economic and environmental performances of the proposed hierarchical system and the status-quo command-and-control system. The advantages of the proposed hierarchical system in implementation and flexibility are also discussed.
